InMed Pharmaceuticals Inc.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

 

1.	CORPORATE INFORMATION AND CONTINUING OPERATIONS

 

Business

 

InMed Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“InMed” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the Province of British Columbia on May 19, 1981 under the Business Corporations Act of British Columbia. InMed is a clinical stage pharmaceutical company developing a pipeline of prescription-based products, including rare cannabinoids and novel cannabinoid analogs, targeting the treatment of diseases with high unmet medical needs as well as developing proprietary manufacturing technologies to produce rare cannabinoids for sale in the health and wellness industry.

 

The Company’s shares are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) under the trading symbol “INM”. InMed’s office and principal place of business is located at #310 – 815 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, B.C., Canada, V6C 1B4.

 

Going Concern

 

In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), the Company has evaluated whether there are conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the consolidated financial statements are issued.

 

Through September 30, 2023, the Company has funded its operations primarily with proceeds from the sale of common stock. The Company has incurred recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations since its inception, including net losses of approximately $2.5 million and $3.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. In addition, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $103.9 million as at September 30, 2023. The Company expects to continue to generate operating losses for the foreseeable future.

 

As of the issuance date of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the Company expects its cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $6.8 million as of September 30, 2023, combined with the approximate $4.7 million of net proceeds from a private placement which closed on October 26, 2023 (see Note 13), will be sufficient to fund its operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements into the third quarter of calendar 2024, depending on the level and timing of realizing BayMedica revenues from the sale of bulk rare cannabinoids in the health and wellness sector as well as the level and timing of the Company’s operating expenses. The future viability of the Company is dependent on its ability to raise additional capital to finance its operations. The Company has concluded that there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the consolidated financial statements are issued.

 

The Company expects to continue to seek additional funding through equity financings, debt financings or other capital sources, including collaborations with other companies, government contracts or other strategic transactions. The Company may not be able to obtain financing on acceptable terms, or at all. The terms of any financing may adversely affect the holdings or the rights of the Company’s existing shareholders.

 

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will be able to meet its commitments, realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not reflect adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities that would be necessary if the Company was unable to continue as a going concern and such adjustments could be material.

 

COVID-19 Impacts

 

The full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may directly or indirectly impact the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition, including expenses, research and development costs and employee-related amounts, will depend on future developments that are evolving and highly uncertain, such as the duration and severity of outbreaks, including potential future waves or cycles, and the effectiveness of actions taken to contain and treat COVID-19. The Company considered the potential impact of COVID-19 when making certain estimates and judgments relating to the preparation of these consolidated financial statements. While there was no material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company’s future assessment of the magnitude and duration of COVID-19, as well as other factors, could result in a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements in future reporting periods.

 

 

2.	SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as applied in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for financial information. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes required for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company and the accompanying notes thereto for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023.

 

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of results for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 are not necessarily indicative of results that can be expected for a full year. These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements follow the same significant accounting policies as those described in the notes to the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain prior year amounts in the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto have been reclassified where necessary to conform to the current year’s presentation. These reclassifications did not affect the prior period’s total assets, total liabilities, stockholders’ deficit, net loss or net cash used in operating activities. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we adopted a change in presentation on our consolidated statements of operations loss in order to include foreign exchange loss in operating expenses. Prior periods have been revised to reflect this change in the presentation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in compliance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities as of the balance sheet date, and the corresponding revenues and expenses for the periods reported. It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the Company’s accounting policies. In the future, actual experience may differ from these estimates and assumptions. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to these consolidated financial statements are the estimate of useful life of intangible assets, the application of the going concern assumption, determining the fair value of share-based payments, income tax provisions, write-down of inventories to net realizable value, and warrant valuations.

 

Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Basis of Consolidation 

 

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, including subsidiaries: InMed Pharmaceutical Ltd., BayMedica, LLC, Biogen Sciences Inc., and Sweetnam Consulting Inc. A subsidiary is an entity that the Company controls, either directly or indirectly, where control is defined as the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. All inter-company transactions and balances including unrealized income and expenses arising from intercompany transactions are eliminated in preparing these condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

 

Foreign Currency 

 

The functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries is the U.S. Dollar. These consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. Dollars. References to “$” and “US$” are to United States (“U.S.”) dollars and references to “C$” are to Canadian dollars.

 

Accounts Receivable 

 

Accounts receivable are recorded at invoiced amounts, net of any allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in existing accounts receivable. 

 

The Company evaluates the collectability of accounts receivable on a regular basis based upon various factors including the financial condition and payment history of customers, an overall review of collections experience on other accounts and economic factors or events expected to affect future collections experience. Expected credit losses on our accounts receivable were $66,775 as of September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023.

 

Inventories 

 

Inventories are initially valued at weighted average cost and subsequently valued at the lower of weighted average cost and net realizable value. Costs included in inventories are the purchase price of goods and cost of services rendered, freight costs, warehousing costs, purchasing costs, and production and labor costs related to manufacturing. 

 

 

In determining any valuation allowances, the Company reviews inventory for obsolete, redundant, and slow-moving goods. As of September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023, the Company has $186,750 and $93,820 respectively, as a valuation allowance to reduce weighted average cost to net realizable value. During the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded an inventory write-down of $92,930 and $576,772 respectively.

 

Cost of Sales 

 

Cost of sales consists primarily of the purchase price of goods and cost of services rendered, freight costs, warehousing costs, and purchasing costs. Cost of sales also includes production and labor costs for the Company’s manufacturing business.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk and Other Risks and Uncertainties

 

At times, cash balances may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) or Canadian Deposit Insurance Corporation (CDIC) insurable limits. The Company has not experienced any losses related to these balances. The uninsured cash balance as of September 30, 2023, was $2.9 million. The Company does not believe it is exposed to significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.

 

The Company’s customers are primarily concentrated in the United States.

 

As of September 30, 2023, the Company had three customers with an accounts receivable balance representing 35%, 22% and 11% of total accounts receivable, respectively. As of June 30, 2023, we had three customers with an accounts receivable balance representing 41%, 30% and 15% of total accounts receivable.

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company had three customers that accounted for 34%, 20% and 11% of revenue, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company had three customers that accounted for 43%, 22% and 12% of revenue, respectively.

 

Financial Assets and Liabilities

 

Financial Assets 

 

Financial assets are initially recognized at fair value, plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to their acquisition or issue and subsequently carried at amortized cost, using the effective interest rate method, less any impairment losses. No financial assets are or elected to be carried at fair value through profit or loss or where changes in fair value are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss in other comprehensive loss. 

 

Short-term investments are subsequently recorded at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates fair value due to short term nature. Accounts receivable are reported at outstanding amounts, net of provisions for uncollectable amounts.

 

Financial Liabilities 

 

To determine the fair value of financial instruments, the Company uses the fair value hierarchy for inputs used to measure the fair value of financial assets and liabilities. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels: Level 1 (highest priority), Level 2, and Level 3 (lowest priority).  

 

Level 1 –

Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments.

 

Level 2 –

Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (i.e., interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).

 

Level 3 –

Inputs are unobservable and reflect the Company’s assumptions as to what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The Company develops these inputs based on the best information available. Assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements. Changes in the observability of valuation inputs may result in a reclassification of levels for certain securities within the fair value hierarchy.

 

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximate their carrying values as at September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023 due to their immediate or short-term maturities.

 

 

Earnings (Loss) Per Share 

 

Basic earnings (loss) per common share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing the net income or loss applicable to common shares of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the relevant period. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share (“Diluted EPS”) is computed by dividing the net income or loss applicable to common shares by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding and all additional common shares that would have been outstanding, if potentially dilutive instruments were converted. If the conversion of outstanding stock options and warrants into common share is anti-dilutive, then Diluted EPS is not presented separately from EPS.

 

The following table sets forth the number of potential shares of common stock that have been excluded from diluted net income (loss) per because their effect was anti-dilutive: 

 

		As of September 30,
		2023				2022
Options			102,133				53,466
Warrants			3,516,529				1,520,218
			3,618,662				1,573,684

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company has reviewed recent accounting pronouncements and concluded that they are either not applicable to the Company or that there was no material impact or no material impact is expected in the consolidated financial statements as a result of future adoption.

 

3.	INVENTORIES

During the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the write-down of inventories to net realizable value was $92,930 and $576,772, respectively. Contributing factors to the decrease in net realizable value included lower demand and downward pricing pressure for certain products. As of September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023, the Company has $186,750 and $93,820, respectively, as a valuation allowance to reduce weighted average cost to new basis.

a)

Option Plan Details

 

On March 24, 2017, and as amended on November 20, 2020, the Company’s shareholders approved: (i) the adoption of a new stock option plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to which the Board of Directors may, from time to time, in its discretion and in accordance with regulatory requirements, grant to directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company, non-transferable options to purchase common shares, provided that the number of common shares reserved for issuance will not exceed twenty percent (20%) of the issued and outstanding common shares at the date the options are granted (on a non-diluted and rolling basis); and (ii) the application of the new stock option plan to all outstanding stock options of the Company that were granted prior to March 24, 2017 under the terms of the Company’s previous stock option plan.

 

As of September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023, there were 51,124 and 51,633 options, respectively, immediately available for future allocation pursuant to SEC rules. The maximum number of options issuable under the terms of the Plan equate to 20% of the then issued and outstanding shares. The option price under each option shall not be less than the closing price on the day prior to the date of grant. All options vest upon terms as set by the Board of Directors, either over time, up to 36 months, or upon the achievement of certain corporate milestones.

 

Stock options granted prior to May 2021 were granted with Canadian dollar exercise prices (United States dollar amounts for weighted average exercise prices and aggregate intrinsic value are calculated using prevailing rates as at June 30, 2022). Commencing in May 2021, stock options are granted with United States dollar exercise prices.

 

 

The following is a summary of changes in outstanding options from July 1, 2023 to September 30, 2023:

On October 5, 2023, BayMedica amended its lease located at 458 Carlton Court, Suite C, South San Francisco, California. The Company agreed to extend its lease to May 14, 2027. The Company is obligated to pay $1,095,104 over the three-year period unless terminated before the end of the period.

 

 

10.	SEGMENT INFORMATION

 

As of the closing of the BayMedica acquisition, the Company aligned into two operating and reportable segments, the InMed segment and the BayMedica segment. The Company reports segment information based on the management approach which designates the internal reporting used by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), which is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, for making decisions and assessing performance as the source of the Company’s reportable segments. The CODM allocates resources and assesses the performance of each operating segment based on potential licensing opportunities, historical and potential future product sales, operating expenses, and operating income (loss) before interest and taxes. The Company has determined its reportable segments to be InMed and BayMedica based on the information used by the CODM. Other than cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments (“Unrestricted cash”) balances, the CODM does not regularly review asset information by reportable segment and therefore, the Company does not report asset information by reportable segment.

 

The InMed segment is largely organized around the research and development of cannabinoid-based pharmaceuticals products and the BayMedica segment is largely organized around developing proprietary manufacturing technologies to produce rare cannabinoids for sale in the health and wellness industry. Total assets held in the InMed segment as of September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023 are $7,045,824 and $9,498,752, respectively. Total assets as of September 30 and June 30, 2023, held in the BayMedica segment are $3,871,515 and $4,607,588, respectively.

 

The following table presents information about the Company’s reportable segments for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022:

 

		For the period ended
		September 30, 2023												September 30, 2022
		InMed				BayMedica				Total				InMed				BayMedica				Total

11.	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Pursuant to the terms of agreements with various contract research organizations, as of September 30, 2023, the Company is committed for contract research services and materials at a cost of approximately $2.2 million, expected to occur in the following twelve months period.

 

Pursuant to the terms of agreements with various vendors, as of September 30, 2023, the Company is committed for contract materials and equipment at a cost of approximately $0.3 million, expected to occur in the twelve months following September 30, 2023.

 

Pursuant to the terms of a May 31, 2017, Technology Assignment Agreement between the Company and the University of British Columbia (“UBC”), the Company is committed to pay royalties to UBC on certain licensing and royalty revenues received by the Company for biosynthesis of certain drug products that are covered by the agreement. To date, no payments have been required to be made.

 

Pursuant to the terms of a December 13, 2018 Collaborative Research Agreement with UBC in which the Company owns all rights, title and interests in and to any intellectual property, in addition to funding research at UBC, the Company is committed to make a one-time payment upon filing of any PCT patent application arising from the research. To date, one such payment has been made to UBC.

 

Pursuant to the terms of a November 1, 2018 Contribution Agreement with National Research Council Canada, as represented by its Industrial Research Assistance Program (NRC-IRAP), under certain circumstances contributions received, including the disposition of the underlying intellectual property developed in part with NRC-IRAP contributions, may become repayable.

 

Short-term investments include guaranteed investment certificates, with one-year terms of $42,942 and $44,422 as of September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023, respectively, that are pledged as security for a corporate credit card.

 

The Company has entered into certain agreements in the ordinary course of operations that may include indemnification provisions, which are common in such agreements. In some cases, the maximum amount of potential future indemnification is unlimited; however, the Company currently holds commercial general liability insurance. This insurance limits the Company’s liability and may enable the Company to recover a portion of any future amounts paid. Historically, the Company has not made any indemnification payments under such agreements and it believes that the fair value of these indemnification obligations is minimal. Accordingly, the Company has not recognized any liabilities relating to these obligations for any period presented.

 

 

Pursuant to a technology licensing agreement, the Company is committed to issue, subject to regulatory approval, up to 700 share purchase warrants to purchase 700 common shares upon the achievement of certain milestones. The exercise price of the warrants will be equal to the five-day volume weighted average price of the common shares prior to each milestone achievement and the warrants will be exercisable for a period of three years from the issuance date.

 

BayMedica LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a patent license agreement (“Agreement”) with a third party (the “Licensor”) in an agreement dated February 15, 2021. The Company is required to make future royalty payments to the Licensor based on net sales of licensed products, with minimum payments required starting in 2021 to maintain an exclusive license. In December 2021, the Company amended the License Agreement including the deferral of the 2021 minimum payments to 2022. As of June 30, 2023, the Company has paid $300,000 for the minimum payments under the agreement. On February 10, 2023, BayMedica received a letter from the Licensor alleging a breach of the Agreement and asserting a right to monies thereunder. On April 6, 2023, BayMedica sent a letter to the Licensor disputing the Licensor’s interpretation of the Agreement and considering the counterparty’s only remedy under the Agreement to be either (a) the conversion of an exclusive technology license into a non-exclusive one or (b) to terminate the Agreement. The interpretation of a contract under Ontario law requires consideration of the surrounding circumstances at the time the contract was negotiated, and BayMedica is of the view that the text of the Agreement and the surrounding circumstances show that the remedy discussed above reflects the intention of the parties. To date, the Licensor has not initiated a lawsuit. If a lawsuit is brought alleging a breach of the Agreement, the proceeding will be subject to final, binding and non-appealable arbitration under the Arbitration Act, 1991 (Ontario) and determined pursuant to Ontario law. BayMedica intends to vigorously defend its position. At this time, it is not possible to reasonably estimate a potential loss due to the terms of the Agreement, the nature of the legal theory advanced by the counterparty, and the requirement under Ontario law that a contract must be interpreted in light of the “surrounding circumstances” at the time the contract was formed. Management will be better positioned to determine whether it is possible to estimate any potential loss following documentary and oral discovery, if any.

 

From time to time, the Company may be subject to various legal proceedings and claims related to matters arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company does not believe it is currently subject to any material matters where there is at least a reasonable possibility that a material loss may be incurred.

 

On September 19, 2023, the Company received written notice from the listing qualifications department staff of The Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) notifying it that the average closing bid price of the Company’s common shares over a period of 30 consecutive trading days was below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2).

 

In accordance with applicable Nasdaq procedures, the Company has a period of 180 calendar days following the receipt of the written notice mentioned above to cure the deficiency and regain compliance. The notice has no immediate impact on the listing of the Company’s common shares, which will continue to trade on the Nasdaq subject to the Company’s continued compliance with the other listing requirements of the Nasdaq. The common shares of the Company will continue to trade under the symbol “INM”. The Company intends to monitor the closing share price for its common shares and explore available options to regain compliance.

 

In the event the Company does not evidence compliance with the minimum bid price requirement during the 180-day grace period, it is expected that Nasdaq would notify the Company that its common shares are subject to delisting. At such time, the Company may appeal such determination to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) and it is expected that the Company’s securities would continue to be listed and available to trade on Nasdaq at least pending the completion of the appeal process. There can be no assurance that any such appeal would be successful or that the Company would be able to evidence compliance with the terms of any extension that may be granted by the Panel.

 

12.	RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

On February 11, 2022, the Board of Directors appointed Janet Grove as a director of the Company. Ms. Grove is a Partner of Norton Rose Fulbright Canada LLP (“NRF”). During the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, NRF rendered legal services in the amount of $19,814 and $67,092, respectively, to the Company. These transactions were in the normal course of operations and were measured at the exchange amount which represented the amount of consideration established and agreed to by NRF. No legal services rendered by NRF were rendered by Ms. Grove directly.

 

13.	SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and determined that there have been no events that have occurred that would require adjustments to our disclosures in the consolidated financial statements except for the transactions described below.

 

On October 24, 2023, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with two accredited institutional investors for the sale and issuance of an aggregate of 3,012,049 of its common shares (or pre-funded warrants in lieu thereof) at a purchase price of $0.83 per share. In addition, the Company agreed to issue to the purchasers unregistered preferred investment options to purchase up to an aggregate of 3,012,049 common shares, for an exercise price of at a purchase price of $0.83 per preferred investment option.

 

Concurrently with the Company’s entry into the purchase agreement, the Company also entered into an inducement offer letter agreement with the holders of existing preferred investment options to purchase up to an aggregate of 3,272,733 common shares of the Company issued to the holders on November 21, 2022. Pursuant to the inducement letter, the holders agreed to exercise for cash their existing preferred investment options to purchase an aggregate of 3,272,733 common shares of the Company at a reduced exercise price of $0.83 per share in consideration of the Company’s agreement to issue new unregistered preferred investment options to purchase up to an aggregate of 6,545,466 shares of the Company’s common shares for an exercise price of $0.83. On October 26, 2023, the parties consummated the offerings.

Overview

 

We are a clinical stage pharmaceutical company developing a pipeline of prescription-based products, including rare cannabinoids and novel cannabinoid analogs, targeting the treatment of diseases with high unmet medical needs. Together with our subsidiary, BayMedica, we also have significant know-how in developing proprietary manufacturing approaches to produce cannabinoids for various market sectors. Our know-how includes traditional approaches such as chemical synthesis and biosynthesis, as well as a proprietary, integrated manufacturing approach called IntegraSyn. We are dedicated to delivering new therapeutic alternatives to patients and consumers who may benefit from cannabinoid-based products. Our approach leverages on the several thousand years’ history of health benefits attributed to the Cannabis plant and brings this anecdotal information into the 21st century by applying tried, tested and true scientific approaches to establish non-plant-derived (synthetically manufactured), individual cannabinoid compounds as Product Candidates for InMed’s pharmaceutical product development pipeline or specific rare cannabinoid Products sold to end-product manufacturers by BayMedica. While our activities do not involve direct use of Cannabis nor extracts from the plant, we note that the FDA has, to date, not approved any marketing application for Cannabis for the treatment of any disease or condition and has approved only one Cannabis-derived and three Cannabis-related drug products. Our ingredients are synthetically made and, therefore, we have no interaction with the Cannabis plant. We do not grow nor utilize Cannabis nor its extracts in any of our Products or Product Candidates; our current pharmaceutical drug Product Candidates are applied topically (not inhaled nor ingested); and, we do not utilize THC or CBD, the most common cannabinoid compounds that are typically extracted from the Cannabis plant, in any of our Products or Product Candidates. The API under development for our initial two drug candidates, INM-755 for EB and INM-088 for glaucoma, is CBN. Additional uses of both INM-755 and INM-088 are being explored, as well as the application of novel cannabinoid analogs to treat diseases including but not limited to neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and Huntington’s.

 

We believe we are positioned to develop multiple pharmaceutical Product Candidates in diseases which may benefit from medicines based on rare cannabinoid compounds. Most currently approved cannabinoid therapies are based specifically on CBD and/or THC and are often delivered orally, which has limitations and drawbacks, such as side effects (including the intoxicating effects of THC). Currently, we intend to deliver our rare cannabinoid pharmaceutical Product Candidates through various topical formulations (cream for dermatology, eye drops for ocular diseases) as a way of enabling treatment of the specific disease at the site of disease while seeking to minimize systemic exposure and any related unwanted systemic side effects, including any drug-drug interactions and any metabolism of the active pharmaceutical ingredient by the liver. The cannabinoid Products sold through our B2B raw material supply business are integrated into various product formats by the companies who then further commercializes such products. We access rare cannabinoids via all non-extraction approaches, including chemical synthesis, biosynthesis and our proprietary integrated IntegraSyn approach, thus negating any interaction with or exposure to the Cannabis plant. 

 

 

Since our acquisition of Biogen Sciences Inc., a privately held British Columbia pharmaceutical company focused on drug discovery and development of cannabinoids in 2014, our operations have focused on conducting research and development for our Product Candidates and for our integrated, biosynthesis-based manufacturing technology, establishing our intellectual property, organizing and staffing our Company, business planning and capital raising. On October 13, 2021, we acquired BayMedica, Inc., now named BayMedica, LLC. Upon closing of the transaction, BayMedica became a wholly-owned subsidiary of InMed. To date, we have funded our operations primarily through the issuance of common shares.

 

We have incurred significant operating losses since our inception and we expect to continue to incur significant operating losses for the foreseeable future. Our ability to generate product revenue that is sufficient to achieve profitability will depend heavily on the revenues generated from our products in the health and wellness sector, on the successful development and eventual commercialization of one or more of our Product Candidates and/or the success of our manufacturing technologies. Our net loss was $2.5 million and $3.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. As of September 30, 2023, we had an accumulated deficit of $103.9 million, which includes all losses since our inception in 1981. We expect our expenses will remain steady as we:

 

●

seek partnerships to advance the INM-755 program, our lead drug candidate for the treatment of EB;

 

●

continue to further advance research into the role of cannabinoids in treating ocular diseases;

 

●

continue to advance research in the ocular drug development and INM-901 programs, using cannabinoid analogs to target treatment of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s;

 

●

investigate our Product Candidates for additional uses beyond their initial target indications;

 

●

pursue the discovery of drug targets based on proprietary cannabinoid analogs for other diseases with high unmet medical needs and the subsequent development of any resulting new Product Candidates;

 

●

seek regulatory approvals for any Product Candidates that successfully complete clinical trials;

 

●

scale-up our manufacturing processes and capabilities, or arrange for a third party to do so on our behalf;

 

●

continue to support our commercial operations and revenue-generating Products at BayMedica;

 

●

execute on business development activities, including but not limited to company mergers/acquisitions and acquisition or in-licensing of externally developed products and/or technologies;

 

●

maintain, expand, enforce, defend and protect our intellectual property;

 

●

continue to further advance the research and development of various manufacturing technologies;

 

●

build internal infrastructure, including personnel, to meet our milestones; and

 

●

add operational, financial and management information systems and personnel, including personnel to support product development and potential future commercialization efforts and our operations as a public company.

 

As a result of these activities as well as our working capital requirements, we will need substantial additional funding to support our continuing operations and pursue our growth strategy. We expect to finance our operations through product sales, the sale of equity, debt financings or other capital sources, including collaborations with other companies or other strategic transactions. We may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such other agreements or arrangements when needed on favorable terms, or at all. If we fail to raise capital or enter into such agreements as and when needed, we may have to significantly delay, scale back or discontinue the development and commercialization of one or more of our Products and Product Candidates or grant rights to external entities to develop and market our Product Candidates, even if we would otherwise prefer to develop and market such Products and Product Candidates ourselves.

 

Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with drug development and commercial growth, we are unable to predict the timing or amount of increased expenses and working capital requirements or the timing of when or if we will be able to achieve or maintain profitability. If we fail to become profitable or are unable to sustain profitability on a continuing basis, then we may be unable to continue our operations at planned levels and be forced to reduce or terminate our operations.

 

 

Recent Developments

 

On October 24, 2023, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with two accredited institutional investors for the sale and issuance of an aggregate of 3,012,049 of its common shares (or pre-funded warrants in lieu thereof) at a purchase price of $0.83 per share. In addition, the Company agreed to issue to the purchasers unregistered preferred investment options to purchase up to an aggregate of 3,012,049 common shares for an exercise price of at a purchase price of $0.83 per preferred investment option.

 

Concurrently with the Company’s entry into the purchase agreement, the Company also entered into an inducement offer letter agreement with the holders of existing preferred investment options to purchase up to an aggregate of 3,272,733 common shares of the Company issued to the holders on November 21, 2022. Pursuant to the inducement letter, the holders agreed to exercise for cash their existing preferred investment options to purchase an aggregate of 3,272,733 common shares of the Company at a reduced exercise price of $0.83 per share in consideration of the Company’s agreement to issue new unregistered preferred investment options to purchase up to an aggregate of 6,545,466 shares of the Company’s common shares for an exercise price of $0.83. On October 26, 2023, the parties consummated the Offerings.

 

Components of Results of Operations

 

Revenue

 

Our revenue consists of manufacturing and distribution sales of bulk rare cannabinoid Products, which are generally recognized at a point in time. We recognize revenue when control over the products has been transferred to the customer and to which we have a present right to payment.

 

Cost of Sales

 

Cost of sales consist primarily of the purchase price of goods and cost of services rendered, freight costs, warehousing costs, and purchasing costs. Cost of sales also includes production and labor costs for our manufacturing business.

 

Operating Expenses

 

 Research and Development and Patent Expenses

 

Research and development and patent expenses represent costs incurred by us for the discovery, development, and manufacture of our Products and Product Candidates and include:

 

●

external research and development expenses incurred under agreements with contract research organizations, or “CROs”, or CDMOs, and consultants;

 

●

salaries, payroll taxes, employee benefits expenses for individuals involved in research and development efforts;

 

●

research supplies; and

 

●

legal and patent office fees related to patent and intellectual property matters.

 

We expense research and development costs as incurred. We recognize expenses for certain development activities, such as preclinical studies and manufacturing, based on an evaluation of the progress to completion of specific tasks using data or other information provided to us by our vendors. Payments for these activities are based on the terms of the individual agreements, which may differ from the pattern of expenses incurred. Non-refundable advance payments for goods or services to be received in the future for use in research and development activities are recorded as prepaid expenses. These amounts are recognized as an expense as the goods are delivered or the related services are performed, or until it is no longer expected that the goods will be delivered, or the services rendered.

  

External costs represent a significant portion of our research and development expenses, which we track on a program-by-program basis following the nomination of a development candidate. Our internal research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel-related expenses, including salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation expense. We do not track our internal research and development expenses on a program-by-program basis as the resources are deployed across multiple projects.

 

The successful development of our Products and Product Candidates is highly uncertain. At this time, we cannot reasonably estimate or know the nature, timing, and estimated costs of the efforts that will be necessary to complete the remainder of the development of our Product Candidates or to develop and commercialize additional Products. We are also unable to predict when, if ever, material net cash inflows will commence from our Product Candidates, if approved. This is due to the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with development, including the uncertainty related to:

 

●

the timing and progress of preclinical and clinical development activities;

 

 

●

the number and scope of preclinical and clinical programs we decide to pursue;

 

●

our ability to raise additional funds necessary to complete preclinical and clinical development and commercialization of our Product Candidates, to further advance the development of our manufacturing technologies, and to develop and commercialize additional Products, if any;

 

●

our ability to maintain our current research and development programs and to establish new ones;

 

●

our ability to establish sales, licensing or collaboration arrangements;

 

●

the progress of the development efforts of parties with whom we may enter into collaboration arrangements;

 

●

the successful initiation and completion of clinical trials with safety, tolerability and efficacy profiles that are satisfactory to the FDA or any comparable foreign regulatory authority;

 

●

the receipt and related terms of regulatory approvals from applicable regulatory authorities;

 

●

the availability of materials for use in production of our Products and Product Candidates;

 

●

our ability to secure manufacturing supply through relationships with third parties or establish and operate a manufacturing facility;

 

●

our ability to consistently manufacture our Product Candidates in quantities sufficient for use in clinical trials;

 

●

our ability to obtain and maintain intellectual property protection and regulatory exclusivity, both in the United States and internationally;

 

●

our ability to maintain, enforce, defend and protect our rights in our intellectual property portfolio;

 

●

the commercialization of our Product Candidates, if and when approved, and of new Products;

 

●

our ability to obtain and maintain third-party payor coverage and adequate reimbursement for our Product Candidates, if approved;

 

●

the acceptance of our Product Candidates, if approved, by patients, the medical community and third-party payors;

 

●

competition with other products; and

 

●

a continued acceptable safety profile of our Product Candidates following receipt of any regulatory approvals.

 

A change in the outcome of any of these variables with respect to the development of any of our Products or Product Candidates would significantly change the costs and timing associated with the development of those Products or Product Candidates.

 

Research and development activities account for a significant portion of our operating expenses. Research and development expenses decreased in the three months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022, largely due to high start-up costs associated with the multicenter Phase 2 clinical trial in our INM-755 program during the prior year. However, we expect our research and development expenses to increase significantly in future periods as we continue to implement our business strategy, which includes advancing our drug candidates and our manufacturing technologies into and through clinical development, expanding our research and development efforts, including hiring additional personnel to support our research and development efforts, ultimately seeking regulatory approvals for our drug candidates that successfully complete clinical trials, and further developing selected R&D and commercial BayMedica activities. In addition, drug candidates in later stages of clinical development generally incur higher development costs than those in earlier stages of clinical development, primarily due to the increased size and duration of later-stage clinical trials. Accordingly, although we expect our research and development expenses to increase as our drug candidates advance into later stages of clinical development, we do not believe that it is possible, at this time, to accurately project total program-specific expenses through to commercialization. There are numerous factors associated with the successful commercialization of any of our Product Candidates, including future trial design and various regulatory requirements, many of which cannot be determined with accuracy at this time based on our stage of development.

 

General and Administrative Expenses

 

General and administrative expenses consist of personnel-related costs, including salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation expense, for our personnel in executive, finance and accounting, human resources, business operations and other administrative functions, investor relations activities, legal fees related to corporate matters, fees paid for accounting and tax services, consulting fees and facility-related costs.

 

 

Amortization and Depreciation

 

Intangible assets are comprised of intellectual property that we acquired in 2014 and 2015 and trade secrets, product formulation knowledge, and patents that we acquired in October 2021. The acquired intellectual property and patents are amortized on a straight-line basis based on their estimated useful lives. Equipment and leasehold improvements are depreciated using the straight-line method based on their estimated useful lives.

 

Share-based Payments

 

Share-based payments is the stock-based compensation expense related to our granting of stock options to employees and others. The fair value, at the grant date, of equity-settled share awards is charged to our loss over the period for which the benefits of employees and others providing similar services are expected to be received. The vesting components of graded vesting employee awards are measured separately and expensed over the related tranche’s vesting period. The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of share options expected to vest. The fair value of awards is calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which considers the exercise price, current market price of the underlying shares, expected life of the award, risk-free interest rate, expected volatility and the dividend yield.

 

Other Income

 

Other income consists primarily of interest income earned on our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments.

 

Results of Operations

 

As of the closing of the BayMedica acquisition, we aligned into two operating and reportable segments, InMed Pharmaceuticals (the “InMed” segment) and BayMedica (the “BayMedica” segment).

Research and Development and Patents Expenses

 

Research and development and patents expenses decreased by $0.06 million in our InMed segment, or 6%, for the period ended September 30, 2023 compared to the period ended September 30, 2022. The decrease in research and development and patents expenses was due to a combination of lower research supplies, stock-based compensation expenses, and personnel compensation partially offset by increases in external contractor fees.

 

General and administrative expenses

 

General and administrative expenses decreased by $0.3 million in our InMed segment, or 31%, for the period ended September 30, 2023 compared to the period ended September 30, 2022. The decrease results primarily from a combination of changes including lower office and admin fees, accounting and legal fees, stock-based compensation expenses, regulatory fees, consulting fees, and interest expense on lease obligations.

Sales

 

Sales increased by $0.58 million as a result of an increase in sales volume to $0.9 million in our BayMedica segment, or 181%, for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022. While sales increased year over year, there was a decrease in revenue of 61% or $1.4 million quarter over quarter due to fluctuations in distributor order patterns. While we are optimistic about the long-term growth potential in the rare cannabinoids sector, we expect revenue fluctuations to continue in future quarters. BayMedica will continue to evaluate opportunities for potential structured supply arrangements and collaborations for the commercial business. Sales and marketing efforts will remain focused on products that contribute the highest margins, where BayMedica continues to hold a strong competitive position. 

 

Cost of Sales

 

Cost of goods sold increased by $0.6 million in our BayMedica segment, or 235%, for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022. The increase in cost of goods sold is a result from the increase in sales mentioned above. The Company’s gross margin fluctuation is primarily affected by the product mix sold within the period.

 

Inventory Write-Down

 

The write-down of inventories to net realizable value was $0.09 million in our BayMedica segment for the period ended September 30, 2023, with expenses of $0.6 million for the period ended September 30, 2022. Contributing factors to the decrease in net realizable value included lower demand and downward pricing pressure. BayMedica continues to evaluate new manufacturing approaches for certain products to increase its competitive position in the marketplace.

 

Research and Development and Patents Expenses

 

Research and development and patents expenses decreased by $0.02 million in our BayMedica segment, or 8%, for the period ended September 30, 2023 compared to the period ended September 30, 2022. The decrease in research and development and patents expenses was primarily due to lower research supplies expense partially offset by increases in external contractor fees and personnel expenses.

 

General and administrative expenses

 

General and administrative expenses increased by $0.07 million in our BayMedica segment, or 16%, for the period ended September 30, 2023 compared to the period ended September 30, 2022. The increase results primarily from a combination of changes including higher personnel expenses, accounting and legal fees, and marketing expenses.

 

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Since our inception, we have only generated limited revenue from product sales, no sales from any other sources and have incurred significant operating losses and negative cash flows from our operations. We have only commenced commercial sales with the acquisition of BayMedica and not yet commercialized any of our Product Candidates and we do not expect to generate revenue from sales of any Product Candidates for several years, if at all. We have funded our operations to date primarily with proceeds from the sale of common shares. As of September 30, 2023 the Company has lease obligations of $297,759 and committed for contracted research services and materials at a cost of approximately $2.2 million, expected to occur in the following twelve months following period.

 

As of September 30, 2023, we had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $6.8 million.

 

The following table summarizes our cash flows for each of the periods presented:

 

(in thousands)		Period Ended September 30, 2023				Period Ended September 30, 2022
Net cash (used in) operating activities		$	(2,174	)		$	(2,255	)
Net cash (used in) investing activities			-				-
Net cash provided by financing activities			-				5,429
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents		$	(2,174	)		$	3,174

 

Operating Activities 

 

During the period ended September 30, 2023, we used cash in operating activities of $2.2 million, primarily resulting from our net loss of $2.5 million combined with changes in working capital and non-cash expenses contributed to net cash used in operating activities.

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2022, we used cash in operating activities of $2.3 million, primarily resulting from our net loss of $3.5 million combined with changes in working capital and non-cash expenses contributed to net cash used in operating activities.

 

Financing Activities

 

During the period ended September 30, 2023, cash provided by financing activities of $0.

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2022, cash provided by financing activities of $5.4 million consisted of $6.0 million of gross proceeds from a private placement of our common shares, offset by total transaction costs of $0.6 million.

 

Going Concern

 

We expect our expenses to increase substantially in connection with our ongoing research and development activities, particularly as we continue the research and development of, and the clinical trials for, our Product Candidates. In addition, we expect to incur additional costs associated with operating as a US-listed public company and associated with any required investment into BayMedica’s R&D efforts targeting cannabinoid analogs. As a result, we expect to incur substantial operating losses and negative operating cash flows for the foreseeable future. 

 

In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), we have evaluated whether there are conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the consolidated financial statements are issued.

 

 

Through September 30, 2023, we have funded our operations primarily with proceeds from the sale of common stock. We have incurred recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations since its inception, including net losses of $2.5 million and $3.5 million for the period ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. In addition, we have an accumulated deficit of $103.9 million as of September 30, 2023.

 

As of the issuance date of the consolidated interim financial statements, we expect our cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments of $6.8 million as of September 30, 2023, combined with the approximate $4.7 million of net proceeds from a private placement which closed on October 26, 2023 (see Note 13), will be sufficient to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements into the third quarter of calendar year 2024 depending on the level and timing of realizing BayMedica revenues from the sale of Products in the Health & Wellness sector as well as the level and timing of our operating expenses. Our future viability is dependent on our ability to raise additional capital to finance our operations. In addition, there are a number of uncertainties in estimating our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements including the impact of potential acquisitions.

 

As a result, we have concluded that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the consolidated financial statements are issued.

 

We expect to continue to seek additional funding through equity financings, debt financings or other capital sources, including collaborations with other companies, government contracts or other strategic transactions. We may not be able to obtain financing on acceptable terms, or at all. The terms of any financing may adversely affect the holdings or the rights of our existing stockholders.

 

Our funding requirements and timing and amount of our operating expenditures will depend largely on:

 

●

the scope, progress, results and costs of discovery research, preclinical development, laboratory testing and clinical trials for our Product Candidates;

 

●

the scope, progress, results and costs of development of our manufacturing technologies;

 

●

the number of and development requirements for other Products and Product Candidates that we pursue;

 

●

the costs, timing and outcome of regulatory review of our Product Candidates;

 

●

our ability to enter into contract manufacturing arrangements for supply of materials and manufacture of our Products and Product Candidates and the terms of such arrangements;

 

●

the impact of any acquired, or in-licensed, externally developed product(s) and/or technologies;

 

●

our ability to establish and maintain strategic collaborations, licensing or other arrangements, including sales arrangements, and the financial terms of such arrangements;

 

●

the sales, costs and timing of future commercialization activities, including product manufacturing, sales, marketing and distribution, for any of our Products and for Product Candidates for which we may receive marketing approval;

 

●

the costs and timing of preparing, filing and prosecuting patent applications, maintaining and enforcing our intellectual property and proprietary rights and defending any intellectual property- related claims;

 

●

expansion costs of our operational, financial and management systems and increases to our personnel, including personnel to support our clinical development, manufacturing and commercialization efforts and our operations as a dual listed company;

 

●

the costs to obtain, maintain, expand and protect our intellectual property portfolio; and

 

●

the level and timing of realizing revenues from the BayMedica commercial operations.

 

A change in the outcome of any of these, or other variables with respect to the development of any of our Products and Product Candidates, could significantly change the costs and timing associated with their development. We will need to continue to rely on additional financing to achieve our business objectives.

 

 

In addition to the variables described above, if and when any of our Product Candidates successfully complete development, we will incur substantial additional costs associated with regulatory filings, marketing approval, post-marketing requirements, maintaining our intellectual property rights, and regulatory protection, in addition to other commercial costs. We cannot reasonably estimate these costs at this time.

 

Until such time, if ever, as we can generate substantial revenues from either our Products or Product Candidates, we expect to finance our cash needs through a combination of equity or debt financings and collaboration arrangements. We currently have no credit facility or committed sources of capital. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the future sale of equity securities, the ownership interests of our shareholders will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of our existing common shareholders. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of debt securities, these securities could contain covenants that would restrict our operations. We may require additional capital beyond our currently anticipated amounts, and additional capital may not be available on reasonable terms, or at all. If we raise additional funds through collaboration arrangements or other strategic transactions in the future, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams, Products or Product Candidates, or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us. If we are unable to raise additional funds through equity or debt financings when needed, we may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate development or future commercialization efforts or grant rights to develop and market Products or Product Candidates that we would otherwise prefer to develop and market ourselves.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements 

 

During the periods presented we did not have, and we do not currently have, any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in the rules and regulations of the SEC.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

 

Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 of the Financial Statements. The estimates will require us to rely upon assumptions that were highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimates are made, and changes in them are reasonably likely to occur from period to period. Changes in estimates used in these and other items could have a material impact on our financial statements in the future. Our estimates will be based on our experience and our interpretation of economic, political, regulatory, and other factors that affect our business prospects. Actual results may differ significantly from our estimates. For detailed information regarding our critical accounting policies and estimates, see our financial statements and notes thereto included in this Report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2023. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from those disclosed in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

 

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and, as such, are not required to provide the information under this Item.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and to ensure that information required to be disclosed is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive and financial officers, to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure. As of September 30, 2023, the Chief Executive Officer and the Interim Chief Financial Officer, with assistance from other members of management, have reviewed the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934). Our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based upon the evaluation, they have concluded that, as of September 30, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at a reasonable assurance level due to a material weakness that existed in our internal controls over financial reporting, primarily the result around a lack of personnel and inadequate controls around segregation of duties in the accounting department from employee turnover, as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023.

 

It should be noted that any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions designed to obtain reasonable (and not absolute) assurance as to its effectiveness, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during our fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2023, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting, except for the items discussed in remediation below.

 

Remediation

 

We began implementing a remediation plan to address the previously reported material weakness in internal control over financial reporting, described in Part II, Item 9A, “Controls and Procedures” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023. Remediation measures include adding additional resources to our finance function, retaining the services of outside consultants and establishing additional review procedures over the accounting for complex and non-routine transactions. The material weakness will not be considered remediated, until the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively. We expect that the remediation of this material weakness will be completed prior to the end of fiscal year 2024. Notwithstanding the material weakness, we believe the financial statements in this report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP.

 

 

PART II

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

 

We are not presently involved in any active legal proceedings that we believe to be material to the Company. However, from time to time, we may be subject to various pending or threatened legal actions and proceedings, including those that arise in the ordinary course of our business, including the license matter discussed in Note 11 of the Financial Statements.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

 

As a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K, we are electing scaled disclosure reporting obligations and therefore are not required to provide the information requested by this Item. For a discussion of our potential risks and uncertainties, please review the risks and uncertainties described in “Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K dated September 29, 2023.
